Lumen Institute is a Christian association of like-minded business and cultural leaders that has identified three specific areas where it seeks to strengthen its members: Character, Faith, and Leadership. The primary goal of the Lumen Institute is to help business leaders and members of Lumen to know what is truly best for them and their teams. This would include acquiring the habits of truth, goodness, beauty, and unity in business and personal life. Through Lumen, members strengthen their integrity of thought and action and become one person of character inside and out.

Paul is excited to deepen his faith through his involvement with Lumen. He will have the opportunity to participate in many activities including Leadership Circles, Spiritual Coaching Sessions, and an annual National Retreat, among others. “I have met like minded leaders with faith based leadership philosophies…and have gained friends, learned skills, and deepened my understanding of God’s message regarding the mentoring and leadership of others through my Lumen relationships,” said Paul J. Burt, CEO of WestLake Financial Group, Inc. and co-founder of CERA Solutions. “This is exactly what I was looking for”

Lumen places a high priority on each member actively working to round out their personal development by giving back to the community. Paul is extremely involved with the American Heart Association. Operating as the Event Chair for the recent Heart Ball in Chicago, he spearheaded the largest fundraiser in the history of the event, raising $2.6 million to save lives.
